How to Tell a Tourist Menu from Real Turkish Cooking
Photographs, a hundred and fifty dishes, twelve languages. Concrete signs of whether a restaurant works for tourists or for the food.
With the city’s most iconic views — the Bosphorus, Hagia Sophia and Galata Tower
Book your table at Olive Anatolian Restaurant and taste the finest of Turkish and Ottoman cooking, with a panoramic view of the Bosphorus stretching from Galata to Hagia Sophia.
Our menu brings together olive oil dishes and mezes from the Aegean, meat and chicken dishes from the Anatolian and Ottoman kitchen, and fresh seafood from the Bosphorus. For our vegan and vegetarian guests there is not a handful of options folded into the main list, but a menu of its own — twenty-three dishes.
For guests who would like to cook Anatolian dishes with their own hands, our cooking workshops open the kitchen door. With our chefs beside you, you learn the traditional techniques, get to know the local ingredients, and prepare dishes drawn from Istanbul’s culinary heritage yourself.
Notes for anyone getting to know Istanbul and its kitchen.
